It's 2:55pm on April 21st -- I can hardly believe that this wonderous day is finally here .
My husband and I are ECSTATIC to see Loreena in person, and performing with all of her extraordinary musicians.
Loreena brought with her some beautiful weather -- I hope that she is able to enjoy some of the beauty that is Boston!
I am so grateful to be a part of Loreena's fan club. We were able to purchase tickets before they went on sale to the public. We'll be right in the front .
This was an amazing show! Does anybody have a set leist that they can post or email me? I would greatly appreciate it. I remember what songs she played, just not he order!
Lwk da, Mike

Now....here it is one week after seeing Loreena & her extraordinary group of musicians...
That night truly blew me & my husband away I tried to post here a few times during this past week, but...there were no words I could write that would've done Loreena justice.
As soon as she walked onto the stage, I could feel my face light up. I smiled the whole night through. We were right in the front & center. It was such a beautiful gift to have been able to see her in person.
Loreena's performance was so much more than I could have ever imagined....... My husband was very impressed with the beautiful rendition of her music. We both love her CD's immensely, but it was an amazing treat being able to see Loreena & all her musicians come together. Their musical timing was brilliant.
That night is permanently etched in my mind. Loreena has touched my heart & soul. We cannot wait to see her again!
To all of you who have a ticket in your hand to see Loreena -- YOU WILL ALL BE AMAZED! Have fun!
Peace, love, good health & happiness to all of you.

I was there too! OMG! I have been a fan of hers for a very long time, that is why my husband went to the concert with me, although he went somewhat reluctantly. After the first few songs, he was blown away by the music, the musicians and of course, by Loreena's voice! Her music gives me goosebumps, it is so beautiful and inspirational. In fact, it moved me so much, that I took off a necklace that I was wearing, (I make jewelry) and left it at the stage door for her, as well.(I hope she get's it!). I listen to her music quite a bit as I work, so I felt that this impulsive move, brought things around in a full circle for me. I wanted to thank her. I identify with many of Loreena's interests and life experiences, so her lyrics, speak to me, as they do to others, and the musicians were awesome! The concert was the first one that I had attended, and I turned to my husband during it, and said that I will be back when she comes back to Boston, again and again. The crowd was awesome! Thank you Loreena, and thanks to the people that went. You all made it a joyful experience!

I met her as well last night at the Boston show. She really is quite friendly and willing to meet with anyone that is willing to wait for her. I spoke with her briefly, shook her hand and got an autograph, as well as Brian, Hugh and Caroline. Top notch person, act & show. The DVD & CD pacakge is $35.00 (which I now own). Anyone with tickets for remaining shows is in for a treat!!!!!!!!!!!

I also saw this amazing concert. It was simply beyond words what her music and her voice was able to covey that night. While I did not have very good seats, the chance to hear her perform live made that somewhat irrelevant. She is the only person whose music is able to bring so much emotion to the surface when I listen to it.
Alas, I did not get the chance to meet her after the show. I was not sure where she would be or when she would make an appearance.
And a formal hello to everyone as this is my first post!

I was there last night too. It was my first concert of Loreena's (I was only 5 or so last time she toured) and what an experience it was! I really can't get over how magical the concert was the whole way round. I was sitting by some very nice people who, noticing I was alone, talked to me and made me feel right at home. Once the music started I was totally captivated, never wanting the night to end. I was a little dismayed by Parallel Dreams lack of representation but everything was so fantastic that I didn't really mind. I was amazed at the musicians' abilities, especially how the group made me fall in love with some of my less-adored songs (She Moved Through The Fair and The Gates of Instanbul). I got to see Loreena after the show but she looked a little tired so I decided to leave without saying hi/thank you. A truly beautiful evening.

I just got home from the concert... it was AMAZING. I still can't get over it. This was my first time going to one of Loreena's concerts and everything about it was perfect- the lighting, music, and what I loved most was the enthusiasim of both Loreena and the musicians. I didn't want the concert to end.
And then there was the afterconcert stage door stalking of Loreena and her musicians where I basically had an emotional breakdown as soon as Loreena walked out. I think I scared her... sorry about that... I still cant believe I met Loreena in person, it was such an amazing experience. And after everyone left my friend and I somewhat chatted with her for a bit, despite my inability to gather my thoughts and complete a sentence. I had this huge thing planned out in case I had the chance to meet her, to tell her how much her music ment to me and all that, but instead I kept on repeating "woah this is so cool" while trying to not have yet another emotional breakdown. Then I gave her a bracelet as a little present but forgot the basket I made to go with it, and the cutesie little story behind all of it and how it relates to her music and all that but instead my friend said something like "you danced on stage, we dance to your music, we have something in common" or something like that... I don't really remember what my friend and I said because I was caught in a "woah" moment. Kinda still am...
Something I really liked about the concert, other than it's overall amazingness, was getting to meet fellow LM fans. I sat with a great group of people, and met a lot of other really awesome fans while doing our stalkerish wating outside. It was the greatest night I ever had.
Thank you so much Loreena for being so amazing, and thanks to all the musicians for being just AWESOME, and the LM groupies, and I guess everyone in general, because you're all really great.
I had such a great time at that concert- I hope you all enjoyed yourself as much as I did :-)
